I was for both wars Iraq and Afghanistan.
But I had no idea we would have spent so much time there....

The real reason we are there? 1 trillion dollars worth of minerals, precious stones and then there is oil. Pentagon estimate.

 

[Rozman]

We had wars in the past where we knew who the enemy was.
There was a code both sides followed for the most part.
You went in with a clear objective...

Who knows what the fuck the end game is in Afghanistan now.
We spend another 5 years there and for what? The result will be the same.
Let's get out now...and that's just not fast enough...

 

[Rozman]

The real reason we are there? 7 trillion dolars worth of minerals, precious stones and oil.Pentagon estimate.

The left has gone on and on about how we went into Iraq
for the oil....

I paid almost $5.00 for gasoline today...
How is that working out for us...
We got shit from Iraq as far as oil.

This article is perfect. It makes the case why everyone should leave. Hastings has made an extraordinary case for moving out now.

The courage and tactical successes of our soldiers count for nothing when there is no coherent local political structure for them to join up to.

The overwhelming majority of Afghans simply want all foreigners to go away and leave them in peace — or maybe in war. They do not care for us, and never will.

Think how ridiculous it has been, to try to win their hearts and minds, when only a handful of Nato personnel in the entire country speak any Afghan dialect.

Consider, too, how idiotic is a British Government which has sent not one, but two successive women to serve as heads of our civil aid mission.

This was Whitehall PC gone bonkers, when few Afghans of any political persuasion recognise the right of women to an education, never mind to advise them on how to run their country. But that sort of folly is history.

All that matters now is to get British forces home as soon as can be contrived, and to conduct future operations with the aim of preserving the lives of our soldiers.

If all deaths in all wars are tragedies, every further young man who is killed or maimed in Helmand is doubly so.

The spectacle of politicians trying to preserve tatters of national dignity at the cost of lives is no less depressing because so many governments in history have followed the same path.

We have lost in Afghanistan.

The weekend’s deaths in Helmand remind us that it is long overdue for our leaders to stop trying to hide from that cruel reality.

The greatest Military in the world is forced to fight by rules set by the enemy and the fat assed Pentagon keeps spending taxpayer money on toys for big boys. Don't we ever learn from our mistakes? In VietNam we spent years fighting by rules set by LBJ and just when it seems that we finally wore down the enemy after Tet, LBJ threw in the towel and thanks to a hostile media democrats got to blame everything on Nixon. We are taking less casualties in Afghanistan but the situation is the same. The administration doesn't want to fight but this time the media rallies around president Hussein and strangely enough the anti-war faction that was so active during a republican administration is strangely silent.

We still got drones and bombs to deal with terrorist camps. Fuck them 15th century savages.

NO MORE AMERICAN BLOOD

Biden did it! Yeah!!!
